Doug Flanders and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and relaxed. They make looking at (and learning about) art interesting and fun. When I’ve been ready to purchase a piece, Doug has an exceptional eye (and memory!) for space and what pieces will work. The gallery offers a wide array of works, including local artists. I always feel confident I’m making the right decision by purchasing here.
At Flanders I’ve found a surprising range of artworks I’m awfully glad I encountered (usually, for the first time) and that I would consider living with, which I consider a significant distinction. It’s not because they’re well crafted decorative works. They are well crafted, but also have a depth (though they can be light-hearted) in how consistently they exhibit a love of the subject, often a place or a moment, and how eloquently they make tribute to that subject.Flanders’ location on Lake Street in Minneapolis’ Uptown neighborhood includes two spaces, a gallery that regularly features thoughtfully hung group and individual shows, and a separate annex a half block west where an impressive gathering of paintings and prints by unique and accomplished regional artists as well as surprising selections by world known 20th century artists can be found.The staff are knowledgeable and always up for a friendly and, if you’re interested, thought-provoking conversation about the work on display or your interests in and experiences with art.
Flanders Gallery has a friendly and informative staff. You can view old masters, contemporary classics, and regional artists. This is time well spent for an outing in the city!
Any art gallery that hosts artists who culturally appropriate is not a gallery worth going to.
I loved the show of Stanley Boxer and Joyce Weinstein. My Mom Dorothy Berenson Blau handled both Boxer and Weinstein in her Bal Harbour, Florida gallery of 52 years, I missed seeing the canvases in her gallery and now got to view them at Flanders. The sensitive textures and depth and thick media lets your mind wander. I LOVED THE SHOW. Thank You, Jim Berenson Hopkins, Minnesota
